The T. Flight Stick X: joystick for PS3 and PC flight simulators

No more sore and calloused thumbs from flight simulator games – now it’s a sore wrists. Thrustmaster has added a new controller to its lineup: the T. Flight Stick X. Priding itself as the first joystick controller for the PlayStation 3 (but also works for the PC), the T. Flight Stick sports enough buttons and features to give a real plane a run for its money. Well, maybe not, but it looks like it can be just as complicated.

No more sore and calloused thumbs from flight simulator games – now it’s a sore wrists. Thrustmaster has added a new controller to its lineup: the T. Flight Stick X. The company Thrustmaster has been around for a long time now – 15 years – and is the original inventor of the joystick.

Priding itself as the first joystick controller for the PlayStation 3, the T. Flight Stick X sports enough buttons and features to give a real plane a run for its money. Well, maybe not, but it looks like it can be just as complicated.

The joystick has a rapid-fire trigger, a rudder (for flat turns), throttle, hat-switch, and a cappuccino maker. It has 12 buttons and 4 axes with presets to switch between programmings, with an internal memory to save configurations.

The T. Flight Stick X sells for EUR 29.99 (US$ 44) and is compatible with all PS3 and PC games.
